New Blogger

Originally this post was suppose to be complaining about how no one comments on my blogs anymore, sad. But on my way to do that i have found a new thing to complain about. thats right the new blogger which i'm sure you would have guessed if you read the subject line.

So to create a new blog entry i had to create a gmail acount and now to sign in i need the gmail acount. I find it a bit annoying but what ever, its not like its going to kill me to do that right? well unless...............unless signing in with gmail shows the government where the highest concentration of blog useres are and its an evil plought to get rid of the whinny emo bastards who use the blog not to entertain but to annoy and slowly kill everyone through annoyances. uh oh

yeah i know its not my best random thought, shut your ugly pie whole and make one yourself. not that anyone is going to read this anyway







Is this a news report or a trailer for a motion picture

History of Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day started in the time of the Roman Empire. In ancient Rome, February 14th was a holiday to honour Juno. Juno was the Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. The Romans also knew her as the Goddess of women and marriage. The following day, February 15th, began the Feast of Lupercalia.

The lives of young boys and girls were strictly separate. However, one of the customs of the young people was name drawing. On the eve of the festival of Lupercalia the names of Roman girls were written on slips of paper and placed into jars. Each young man would draw a girl's name from the jar and would then be partners for the duration of the festival with the girl whom he chose. Sometimes the pairing of the children lasted an entire year, and often, they would fall in love and would later marry.

Under the rule of Emperor Claudius II Rome was involved in many bloody and unpopular campaigns. Claudius the Cruel was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. He believed that the reason was that roman men did not want to leave their loves or families. As a result, Claudius cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome. The good Saint Valentine was a priest at Rome in the days of Claudius II. He and Saint Marius aided the Christian martyrs and secretly married couples, and for this kind deed Saint Valentine was apprehended and dragged before the Prefect of Rome, who condemned him to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off. He suffered martyrdom on the 14th day of February, about the year 270. At that time it was the custom in Rome, a very ancient custom, indeed, to celebrate in the month of February the Lupercalia, feasts in honour of a heathen god. On these occasions, amidst a variety of pagan ceremonies, the names of young women were placed in a box, from which they were drawn by the men as chance directed.

The pastors of the early Christian Church in Rome endeavoured to do away with the pagan element in these feasts by substituting the names of saints for those of maidens. And as the Lupercalia began about the middle of February, the pastors appear to have chosen Saint Valentine's Day for the celebration of this new feaSt. So it seems that the custom of young men choosing maidens for valentines, or saints as patrons for the coming year, arose in this way.

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men -- his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.

According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.

Those are just three sites (the first two have pretty much the same write up) that proves Valentines day isn't just a corporate hoiday. I do not denie that it has become one, but all holidays are these days. All of them started off pure and meaningfull, like Christmas, or Easter, and in fact Hallowe'en, but then America came a long and corrupted us all into thinking that these days are about sugar and sweets, and presents and help us to forget the holiday's origins.

People reading this may think i am only trying to deffend this day because I finally found someone to share it with, that may well be true, but then again i don't ever REALLY hateing this day. and i try to give a good V-day message every year on my blog.

so this year i say, don't hate the day, its intentions were good. Its a day of love. treat it as such. Tell those you love you love them, be that you pets, or parents, or friends or significant others. Hate this day if you must but one day you will learn to love it as others have.

Happy Valentines Day to you all

15 rules of valentines day.......

that are mostly crap and will make guys sweat with fear

i read this list and thought most of these rules were full of crap. some of them had wisdome but could be improved upon. The rules i have made are in blue and are just me shareing with you what i think is important. They day feb 14 is not important, what is important is that you are with the person you love, and making that person happy and beign happy just by being around that person.

15. Rules of Valentine's Day

Think of Valentine's Day as a game like Monopoly. You'll probably spend your cash like it's play money. If you invest money in nice hotels, you'll monopolize her time — and if you impress her, you'll earn a "get out of jail free" card. But seriously, it's the moves you make on February 14 that will determine if you win free (overnight) parking at her apartment. So don't leave it to "chance." Here are all the tips and hints you'll need counting down to V-day.

1. You should never ask a woman, "What do you want for Valentine's day?" The best present is to show that you "get her," which means you don't have to ask.

1. i agree with the not asking thing

2. If you listen to her, she'll throw you a few hints. Look out for comments like, "I really need a ___," "Her necklace is so beautiful," "When's the last time we spent the day together?", or "We've never been to that restaurant!" If she says anything like this, that means she wants it.

2. I think that can be true, but generally i tell everyone what i like or say we've never eaten there, maybe subconciously its given people clues for ideas for me, but generally its just me talking

3. Avoid any stuffed animal holding a cheap, red heart-shaped box. The entire red and pink aisle at CVS and Brooks pharmacy should only be scouted by high school freshmen boys.

3. but being cute is cute. and getting a stuffed animal for a girl is really cute, just don't get her a candle unless she's a friend and its her birthday or christmas, OR unless she really likes candles

4. If she bugs you for a massage every night, book her one with a professional. Can't bear someone else's hands all over her? Pretend she's at a spa and you're the masseuse. Buy massage oil, set up a table, and rub her back until she tells you to stop. It'll be happy ending for all...

4. What if you suck at massages? if she bugs you every night for a massage a valentines day massage wont be overly specail will it? why not sign both you up for a cuples massage or sign both you up for massage lessons? its the whole teach a man to fish thing...

5. Valentine's Day is not all about material objects. In fact, the more material it is, the less impressed she'll be. An electric razor? She'll be more likely to let her legs go prickly in protest than use it. If you want to purchase something, stick to the jewelry and lingerie .

5. never buy a girl lingerie she'll think you're only interested in one thing, also it'll be a waist of mula espcailly because it'll only come out once in a while and she'll only be wearing it for a very short time. isn't being naked with your loved one more sexy than being dressed in sheer fabrics? and jewelry, one peice of advice unless the girl wants a ring AND you want to give her a ring, NEVER buy her a ring, there are way to many meanings that go along with it that you may not be able to commit to yet

6. You can cook a nice dinner, light a few candles, and share a decadent dessert, and it'll be more meaningful and intimate than any high-priced restaurant reservation.

6. I agree with this one as well. being intimate and in love is more meaningful than being public and in love. takeing someone to a fancy resturant is almost like saying, look at me i’m not alone today, (well it CAN look like that with some people)

7. Pick up or order a pricier bottle. Life's too short to drink cheap wine.

7. why do you need alcohol to have a good time. if she likes cheap wine pick out her favorite bottle, or pick out yours and share that with her. in the case of me who doesn’t appreciate wine start her off slow and introduce her to wine, show her how to apprceiate the wine.

8. Don't wait until the last minute to pick out flowers. All you'll get is the last dog-eared bouquet. Actually, forget the flowers. They're overpriced this time of year, and you should really only give them when you want to cheer her up or say, "I'm sorry." They're the most last-minute gift you can give.

8. so unture, flowers are one of the sweetest things you can get a girl, they can mean anything or nothing. and a lot of flowers have meanings to them, rose colours mean different things too, you can say a lot in a single romantic flower as well in a well thought out bouquet. Also don't just get the girl her favoirte flower, mix it up a little. If YOU have a favorite flower get that for her and tell her its your favorite. Some people can associate flowers with people, get a flower that reminds you of her.

9. ...Unless you use the flowers more creatively. For some reason, women get wound up seeing roses torn up in little pieces and covering the bed or floating in a warm bubble bath you've drawn for us.

9. if i came home to flower petles all over my floor and bed right after i thought ‘how romantic’ the next thing i’d think would be ‘i just cleaned up! and now i have to vaccume again?!’ lol

10. In the beginning of a serious relationship, get her a baby-potted plant. Attach a note that says, "I hope our relationship grows." If she waters it, she wants to keep you. And if you end up marrying her, it'll be a great memory.

10. but is she doesn’t water it does that mean she doesn’t want to keep you or that she’s forgetful and bad with daily rutines?

11. Write her a poem. Even if it sounds like one of Adam Sandler's ballads, nothing says love like, "Your butt looks so good in those jeans— I promise next time, I'll lay off the beans."

11. things like flowers and poems shouldn’t be reserved for just one day they should be used when YOU want to show your special someone you care and love them, or just to be spontanius.

12. If it's booked, don't panic. You want to take her on a Valentine's weekend getaway, but all the places you choose aren't available. Don't ditch the idea. Choose another weekend. We won't mind the wait— as long as you tell us what's in store.

12. i agree with most of this one. except if you wanted it to be a romantic get away don’t tell her where your going or what your doing. simple say ‘it wasn’t available this weekend, when are you free we’ll do it then’, but again don’t tell her anything about where you are going

13. Don't leave all the nasty chocolates in the box you gave her.

13. well what morron eats the chocolates before he gives them to her?

14. Never sign a card with just "Love, Larry." We skim over all the commercially printed words on there to see if you've written a message from your heart. If words really can't express how you feel about us, then you better draw a picture.

14. if a card is elaborate or funny sometimes all you need to write is “Love Larry”

15. Don't go too crazy your first few Valentine's Day's. Remember, every year you'll be expected to top last year's gift. Pace yourself

15. Valentine’s day’s don’t need to out do the last one. some can be uber specail and some can just be sweet. some don’t even need to have anything done on them to make them meaningful. If you’re always trying to out do the last years day you’ll be to caught up in the day and not caught up enough in the person you’re suppose to be haveing that day with. also, then valentine’s day will become more important than the things that really matter, like each other, and each others birthdays and your 3 year anniversary etc.


Valentines day only is what you make it. If you want to have a romantic day with you specail someone the most romantic thing to do is to do it on a random day. Valentines isn't so you can do that one romantic thing a year and get it out of the way. Its to show those you love, you love them. That means anyone you love in anyway. its not just for cuples in love and those who think it is are to caught up in the corperate spectrum of things. also anyone who tells you all this day is about is hallmark and chocolate companies makeing more money between christmas and easter obviously hates this day because they feel alone. no one is completely alone.
